THE Pope has made many serious
mistakes in dealing with the Catholic
clergy because of their participation in
Irish politics. It is difficult thing to
destroy an Irishman' s faith III his religion.
But when the clergy near and dear to him
are censured for their activity in his
behalf, his faith in them becomes
strengthened, but is correspondingly
lessened in those who direct the policy of
the church. A like mistake is made in
dealing with DR.. McGlynn. OF the
10000 votes which George received as
candidate for mayor of New York many
more than one-half were Catholic. DIR.
McGlynn' supported the candidacy Of
Mr.. George. 1t was concerted move
ment to show the strength of the labor
party. Laborers always had their de-
mands ignored and their condition in this
country was not unlike the condition of
the Irish people in Ireland. 1t is I'M
fortunate that in the cases IN which the
Catholic clergy sided with the poor and
oppressed, censure should come from
Rome

THE discovery is made that Tobacco

THE discovery is made that tobacco IS
a necessity, and The Sentinel expresses
disapproval of the course of Great Brit
air in taxing tobacco, ''tke poor mans
necessity" and placing no tax on silks,
Jewels, etc. The Sentinel in following
the lead of It's party on the question of
tariff reform may yet be induced to adj
vocate the granting of bonus to the
saloons py way of encouragement SO that
the "poor mans necessity "-whiskey,
could be had cheaply and without diff
Guilty. It will only be a step more to
regard swearing as poor mans neces-
sity. Heretofore the opinion was that
swearing was a necessity only for mule
drivers and bull-whackers. But 'sgoOd
mouth filling oath" such as Hotspur
Harry expressed preference for, may
grow to be an acquired want.
Really, it does seem as if the repubh-
can party with She assistance Of Sam
Randall, is pushing the idea of personal
liberty" to an amazing extent. All ac-
cepted theories on the necessities of re-
straint are to be cast aside as misleading.
Cheap tobacco. cheap whiskey and Wig
orous unchecked oaths are the legacy of
the times in the shape of tariff reform.

IT is somewhat annoying to notice
what vast difference there is between
the contestants for the presidency Of the
Indiana senate. Robertson, the repub-
lican, is courageous leader" and has
capacity for leadership together with the
"unconquerable qualities which may be
brought into play" etc. He is man OF
"more than average ability"
On the other hand, Smith, the demo,
Graf is man of whom "but little of 9
complimentary nature can be said" He
is also described as a 'tbulldozer but
when bis courage is put to the test he
1unks from danger" Is it not strange
that party difference should produce
such differences IN the individuals.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1887-01-13

As MAN grows IN years and experience
he grows IN respect for the pernicionsly
active partisan. There was not repub-
lican in the state that did not admire the
late 10 Rankin, aud still in party issue
10 never showed them any mercy. Boss
Keyes is somewhat of the same stripe
and he is liked by democrats. George
Ginty is one of the straight haired par
tisans who ask no quarter and give none,
and he is one of the warmest hearted
men in the state. Personally he likes a
democrat as well as republican, and
would share his No. Is collar with a
friend though of the off color politically.
But he is a thoroughbred in craftsmanship.
Will Walker would eat republican for
lunch if he had little mustard, and yet
they all like him and he likes them, ex-
cept about voting time, aud then he'd
massacre the whole of them if he couldn t
get rid of them in any more humane way.
Dan Manning is partisan, but lie is the
ablest secretary the treasury ever had,
excepting Hamilton.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1887-01-13

The Louisville Courier-J Journal an
nounces that it no longer intends to
assist in electing men TO office who differ
from the common enemy only in name,
and it is right. What advantage to the
democratic party is it to have Sam
Randall in congress? For that matter
how has the democratic party been bene-
flied or strengthened by the election of
Cleveland9 True, few democrats have
secured office. But these changes should
be incidents and not lines of policy.
Any temporizing policy may bring that
success which gives US the offices, but
not that vigorous reform which will win
the support and confidence of the people.
Turn Randall and his cohorts out of the
party and we shall at least command our
own respect.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1887-01-13

GRADY's speech at the New England
dinner receives attention chiefly because
he is an editor and but few of these are
ready speakers. Watterson seems to be
an exception. Horace Greeley was a
good talker, but he talked from his writ,
ing. Any person who writes to any ex-
tent loses the gift of ready talking. In
writing his thoughts come too rapidly for
his pen, but he cannot think well with
ont pen in his hand. On his feet it is
not only language which refuses to come,
but thought abandons him. George
William Curtis is not an orator. But he
is a thinker and by no means ready
talker.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1887-01-13

CONGRESS is just too sweet. A bill Is
now introduced to reduce the tax on raw
sugar, but it offers bounty to be paid
direct to sugar makers. 1t takes the
tax off tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
certain kinds of distilled liquors: That
gives Us cheap whiskey, cheap cigars and
cheap tobacco, but it keeps the price up
on wooden blankets. This cold winter
weather the poor man can furnish bis
family With whiskey and tobacco at re-
markedly cheap rates, but if it comes to
wooden blanket it takes money. That
bill stands goods chance of passage and
the people will continue to fight for the

REPUBLICAN papers have no occasion
to feel bad over the middle in the Indi-
ana state senate. Since 1876, any means
which promises possession of the Office
is not only proper but commendable, as
success is the only thing worth consider
ing. No such attempts were made be,
fore Hayes was inaugurated; they have
been a regular feature since. The Pilot
has always insisted that the manner il
which Hayes secured the presidency has
done more injury to the nation than did
the rebellion. Partisanship applauds the
act, but craftsmanship would see album
dant cause for regret in it. But it has
become the policy of the country.

THERE is considerable disappointment
are two classes diss atisfed. Those who
want offices and failed to get them and
those who wanted the President to be
pronounced in favor of tariff reform aud
thus make it an issue. The seekers of
Office are easily placated. While they
I've in hopes they are constantly pouring
out iibations. When they despair they
are ferocious and insist that everything
is going to the demnition bow-wows.-
When they get what they want, they be-
come optimistic at once. 1t is amusing
but not profitable to give any attention
to those fellows.
The men who want principle to prevail
and who have no selfish interest in the
success of any party, are the ones who
cannot he satisfied unless principles are
consulted. It does not make any differ
euce about civil service reform. Turn
ell the rascals out or keep them all in,
but give the country some policy on
matters of public interest which will put
the administration in accord with the
conscience of the party. The chief exc
cutive can commit the party to line of
policy or oppose it and we want an issue
clearly defined and unequivocal. Give
the offices 10 Tom. Dick and Harry, but
give the party ltring issue.
